Using Social Media for Your Business

Social media is a powerful, low-cost way for small businesses to reach people. You can create a Facebook or Instagram page for your business for free with easy online steps. There are a number of online resources that can assist you to either create a Facebook page for your business or to create an Instagram page for your business. 

While the City of Kwinana uses its social media to promote its own programs and services, there are many local Facebook groups where Kwinana businesses can share their services and connect with residents. Many of these groups have specific days for business promotion. Be sure to follow each group’s rules.

Some local Facebook groups to consider are:

• Kwinana Chat
• Kwinana Real Chat 
• Wellard Village Chat 
• Bertram Chat 
• Kwinana Buy and Sell 

Signage for Businesses

If your small business has a physical location, signage can help attract customers. However, street and advertising signs must follow the City of Kwinana’s local planning rules and policies.

For details on all types of signage, including illuminated street signs and signs at bus stops or shelters, visit the street signs and advertisin​g page.
